Another question: Do the campus police have a cycling safety officer that I can email?
alanmacMemberYou might be right about this, but they probably use the same bike racks and look at the internal noticeboard, so hopefully might see a safety poster, if I had one to put up. Does anyone have an eye catching cycling safety poster I could put up?
I think this is really the question I should have asked in my first post, but prehaps harbug could also gather some cycling tips on staying safe, light selection, high vi clothing etc… that could be put on noticeboards and help attract new members?
alanmacMemberIt is the 4th cyclist in two weeks that I have seen in 2 weeks that thinks that flashing lights somehow compensate for the fact that they are wearing dark clothing and cannot be seen by cyclists or motorists. Last week it was someone leaving the harwell campus cycling – shot straight out of curie avenue in front of my car, round a bus pulling in, and headed towards steventon in the dark – I could not see how they could see the road ahead to dodge any potholes in the road without high powered lights. They were also almost invisible with just one small red flashing light at the rear – no lights working up front.
Perhaps these messages will remind fellow cyclists that the days are getting shorter and good quality lights are a must.
